After a prayer by Rev. Dr. Doggett, the exercises of the children commenced with an opening address by Master Edward Lockwood, which was followed by a "salutatory" by Miss Fannie Evans. Five little boys — Masters Lockwood, Riddick, Richardson, and John and Andrew Wood — then spoke an amusing dialogue, which was followed by other dialogues by little boys and girls. "Rock Me to Sleep, Mother," was very sweetly sung by the Misses Duesberry, and the "Echo" song was given by the whole school, the echo coming from a portion of the church distant from the singers, and being given with very good effect.--After some other exercises, the Scene of Secession" was given in excellent style, the States being represented by these little girls.
